Absolutely not. Each Rolex has it's own unique serial number, as does any other product which has a serial number. Are you sure you aren't looking at the Model number between the upper lugs?

Post the links to both watches.

Doesnt seem kosher to me. One of the two is misrepresenting their item. Be very carefull.

Already answered to this problem of yours on another thread. Why are we having two separate threads on the same subject?

Hi vanman, welcome to TRF. Each and every serial no. is unique, so no 2 numbers can ever be the same.

There are several things you need to check if you're not sure of what you're buying or, more importantly, who the seller is.

Best you post a link to that e-bay number sale so these guys can help you out.

Good luck - JJ
